| :'''Tell me, Maximus''' | |||
| Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. | |||
| And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. | |||
| And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. | |||
| Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, | |||
| doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; | |||
| rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; | |||
| beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. | |||
| Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. | |||
| For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. | |||
| But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. | |||
| When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. | |||
| For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. | |||
| And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. | |||

- Tell me, Maximus
- You’ve a house on the Esquiline, house on the Aventine,
- and Patrician Street owns a roof of yours too;
- add one with a view of poor Cybele’s shrine,
- one Vesta’s, one Jupiter’s old, one his new.
- Tell me where to meet you, tell me where to find you:
- Who lives everywhere, Maximus, lives nowhere at all.
